“…However, direct comparisons between cardiologists and non-cardiologists were hardly ever performed. In a study performed in the emergency department physicians identified innocent from organic systolic murmurs with a sensitivity of 82% as compared with echocardiography [7]. In a recent study by et Marjan et al [8] on the prevalence of rheumatic heart disease in Cambodia and Mozambique echocardiographic screening detected approximately 10 times as many cases with rheumatic heart disease as were identified with clinical screening.…”

“…The prevalence of cardiac murmurs in the general population is very high 12 . It may be prudent to limit the use of this technique to essential indications as it is not required for all patients with systolic murmur and should not replace cardiac examination 12–16 . For the evaluation of systolic murmur, most patients younger than 50 years old, with grade less than 2/6 murmur, have innocent murmur 16 .…”

“…Kinderartsen die anamnese en lichamelijk onderzoek aldus op gestructureerde wijze uitvoeren, kunnen hartgeruisen evengoed beoordelen als kindercardiologen. [13][14][15][16][17] Het toepassen en regelmatig herhalen van specifieke leerprogramma's blijkt nodig om tot een goede klinische beoordeling te komen. 13,16,18 Naast het gestructureerd uitvoeren van anamnese en lichamelijk onderzoek lijkt klinische ervaring bij de beoordeling van kinderen met een hartgeruis een rol te spelen.…”
